Chapter 40

Strength will always be the most effective weapon for deterrence. Upon discovering that Lu Yan’s terrifying power far exceeded their own, these individuals naturally developed a sense of awe toward him.

The waters surrounding Qilin Port were now completely stained with blood. Of the nearly one hundred reinforcement warships dispatched by the Russian Empire, more than thirty had been sunk by the Xiaoyao Empire, and dozens more were heavily damaged, leaving them too terrified to approach within a thousand meters of the port.

The disciples attempted to use their sect’s secret techniques to halt the Qingyun Sword Workshop, which was greedily absorbing energy, only to find that their sword qi could not penetrate the dense energy flooding the workshop. Unable to command the structure, they were struck with panic.

He merely stood to the side and spoke with gravity. If he could have clearly grasped these matters back then, that would have been fine, but under the current circumstances, how could he possibly just wait here? Nothing was as simple as it seemed.

Lu Yan naturally knew what Bonnie intended to do; she must have feared that reprimanding her mother in front of him would be improper. After all, she was an elder, and one had to show a modicum of respect.

"Mystic Bee: Level 47!" These were common level 47 monsters, and they were densely packed. Lin Fan unleashed a "Raging Sea" spell, stripping away a quarter of their health in one go. Clearly, these Mystic Bees had low magical defense.

Returning to Dragon God One, he recalled the Magic Domain troops as well. Rather than having Nicole attempt to create a difficult space-time tunnel, wouldn't it be better to have Core One open it itself?

I hurriedly looked toward the path and spotted a man dressed in gray, watching me.

The man in the golden robe let out a thunderous shout, full of majesty. He stepped forward, joining the other six Golden Immortals to surround the Heavenly God Cauldron.

There were two vehicles near the fishing village. To avoid detection, Li Song did not allow his team members to drive; instead, he had them hide the cars in the village and proceed to the bridgehead on foot.

"The rest is up to you. This area is safe for now; it’s enough for you to stay the night. Tomorrow morning, take them and leave." With that, Lei Mingxuan and I headed toward the cave in the valley.

Accompanied by a heaven-shaking explosion, water and fire collided, erupting with intense force within the barrier. Just as the black-clad man, who had transformed into a Black Tortoise, thought he had succeeded, a figure suddenly flashed in the sky above. The sword shadow in Wang Yaqiao’s hand descended like a massive mountain, bearing down on the man with the crushing weight of Mount Tai.

On the 4th, the Japanese army launched another full-scale attack outside Changsha, but thanks to the stubborn resistance of our garrison, they were repelled once more. Under the cover of night, the Japanese 3rd and 6th Divisions withdrew from the battlefield, retreating from the outskirts of Changsha toward Dongshan and Langlishi, respectively.

"Tell me, boys, do you want to try again? I don’t mind if you all give it a go together. Ban Xudu and Xudu Ban are always at your service. By the way, I am protecting this boy. Everyone, take care of yourselves." Ban Xudu spoke softly, yet everyone heard him clearly, as if he were whispering right in their ears.

"Tell me the way to kill you, and I will grant you release." Tang Ning delightedly savored the sight of Alkmaar, who was in extreme agony yet unable to die, as he pried into the secret of death.

In the Beast Forest, where countless trees blocked out the sky, the night was even more terrifying and darker.

"Don't give me that act. I see that the red potato field you planted outside has been mostly eaten. You’ve run out of options, so you’re setting your sights on me?" Han Yue turned her head away, showing no intention of yielding easily.

Nangong Sijing was puzzled. In her imagination, everything should have been smooth sailing; after all, she was a pinnacle expert of the Divine Endowment stage. To her, a mere practitioner like Zhu Yuan of the Eight Mountains was nothing.

After hearing the magnanimous words of Huang Jinrong, Xiao Shan felt even more guilty. He couldn't help but recall a movie from his previous life about the sacrifices the Shanghai gangs made for the city. It wasn't that Xiao Shan was selfish; it was for the greater good. He could not step out personally, so he hardened his heart and looked at Huang Jinrong.

Hearing Li Yalin put it that way, the Immortal’s face revealed a thoughtful expression. By the end, as if he had realized something, he let out a long sigh.

He cast a sidelong glance at the person beside him. Loose lips sink ships; don't think that just because there is no one around, you can talk nonsense. For now, it is better to play it safe.

Not only did it possess high intelligence, but it could also initiate attacks—and such powerful ones at that?

With these gains, I believe everyone will be able to enjoy themselves for a while. Those returning to their maiden homes or showing off now had the confidence and face to do so.

Qin Zhou did not pursue this time but sat down, clutching the prescription and repeatedly pondering Zi An’s words.

"Don't you want one?" Chen Gaoyue rolled her eyes and looked at the tiger-head shoes she had embroidered in her hands. The tiger-headed design was truly adorable.

However, because the request came from Chen Qi—and Chen Qi, who had just finished his retreat and broken through to the second-grade cultivation realm—Ao Dingtian did not hesitate to go online.

Yun Zhi knew that apart from one’s teacher, having one’s name bestowed by an elder of the clan was the greatest honor, signifying that one was highly valued.

The Crown Prince looked composed, and Miss Mo appeared completely indifferent. Was it really just the old man worrying over nothing?

In tonight’s battle, excluding the corpse controllers, eighteen evolved zombies and nearly a thousand ordinary zombies were killed. Xiao Ye claimed two white-grade and two green-grade corpses for himself; there was no doubt that the corpse controllers were his.

"Just pick out the divine martial arts manual you’ve set your eyes on and take it out for Elder Gui to break the seal," Yao Siqi reminded him.

At the ninety-ninth step of the Immortal Epoch Realm, he drew his bow and fired three arrows, causing three peak-level Existences of the Saint Reincarnation Realm to fall.

Consuming treasure beasts could directly increase internal energy. Of course, it required certain pills for purification, as the power was not entirely pure. Even so, for a martial artist, it was a dream come true.

Although Aunt Yingtong didn't have the heart to do it, constrained by my firm attitude, she had to follow behind me, sighing every three steps.
